Being gay and a professional sport figure does not always go hand-in-hand. Over the years, several prominent sport figures have revealed their sexuality. David Kopay, Ed Gallagher, Roy Simmons, Glenn Burke, John Amaechi and Billy Ball, just to name a few. In most instances, revealing their sexuality resulted in banishment from the sport that made them household names.
So, you can understand my reserve in letting anyone in on my secret. My professional career as a pitcher in major leaguer baseball hinders on my ability to remain a star pitcher and to keep my true self a secret. I have been playing baseball for over 7 years now with the same team here in California. For five of those years, I have been in love with the catcher on the team. Some of you may have heard of me. My name is Ryan Klinton. I obviously cannot tell you the true name of my love, to protect his identity. So, I will say his name is Orrin Hopper.
The story I am about to tell you is how our love affair began.
I have what some would term, a rocket arm. I can throw a fast ball up to speeds of 110 mph. Needless to say; few are able to get a hit off me. I was prodigy at 12 and by the time I was 19, I was pitching in the majors. I was under constant scrutiny. Everyone thought that with the speed of my pitches, I would have a short career and my arm would be irreparably damaged. Orrin was traded to the team my third year. He was brought in to help keep an eye on me when I was on the mound. At any signs of tiring, he was to alert the coach and I would be taken out of the game. To date, I have never left a game before the 7th inning and I have pitched 16 complete games.
Orrin is a few years older than I am. He is absolutely male and extremely gorgeous. He is a rare breed of baseball player. He wears his hair long, but unlike other players whose long hair often looks unruly and a mess; his hair is perfect. When he wears it completely down, it falls to the center of his back. Long blond locks that many women fans envy. He has a chiseled face with a roman nose and the most beautiful long blond lashes framing shockingly green eyes. I have never seen a more exquisite face, and I appreciate that catchers mask that he wears to protect it.
I consider myself to be fairly attractive. I wear my black hair longer than most other players, usually similar to that of Hugh Grant. I have blue eyes. Some say deep-ocean blue. A lot of pitchers are overweight, but I prefer to stay in shape and work out regularly. So I have a tall, lithe frame.
I worked a four-man rotation. However, that just meant that I didn't throw the hard stuff unless I was in the game. I like to keep my arm moving as much as possible (including masturbating). Orrin played 3 games on, one game off. He was always paired with me for practice and real games. Due to consistent close contact, we became friends rather quickly. On away games we shared a hotel suite. On home games, we would often go out for drinks after a victory or get to together to watch replay tapes after a loss.
We did this for 2 years before our relationship changed. As you can image, being as hot as he was, Orrin often had companions. Being a major league player only added to his appeal since it made him more visible. On many away games, he would stumble into my part of the suite, reeking of perfume, with wild stories of the women he met and often times "got lucky" with.
On one such occasion, we were on a road trip and needed to win 2 games to make it to the playoffs. We lost the first game of the three game series, but we won the second game and made the record books. We had a great victory with an actual triple play. Anyone in baseball knows a triple play is nearly impossible to get. It all comes down to the base running of the team at bat. We got lucky; it was the bottom of the 9th inning and the pitcher had a man on 1st and 2nd base. The batter had a 3-2 count and the base runners were going to go on a hit and run. There were no outs. We were leading 5-3. I wasn't pitching, but I was engrossed in the game none-the-less. I saw our closer wind up and release a curve ball that was on the inside of the plate. The batter swung, made contact, and the base runners were off. However, the ball bounced once right to the third baseman, who had his foot on the bag. He turned and quickly threw the ball to the second baseman. The second baseman, knowing that batter was recovering from a sprained ankle, whipped the ball to first and beat him at the plate.
Our fans in the stands went wild. Our team went wild. We plowed over each other in our attempts to get out of the dugout and hoist the second baseman on our shoulders. They always tell us to know who the batter was, and because he did his homework, we were able to not only win the game, but to get that coveted triple play.
Orrin found me in the melee and slapped me on backside, (the traditional way to say good job in sports). He was grinning from ear to ear. He was the catcher for the game and as he removed his face mask, I could see dirt streaks matted to his face. I pulled him into a tight hug, thumping him on the back before releasing him and grabbing the next player.
